VRex - Virtual Paleontology

Description

Step into the shoes of a paleontologist with *VRex - Virtual Paleontology*, a VR experience that takes you from dig site to museum exhibit. Travel to a North American excavation zone, where you'll uncover T-Rex bones and other fossils using realistic tools like shovels, pickaxes, and pneumatic gravers. Carefully extract specimens within marked 1x1m plots, then move to the fully equipped lab to clean and prepare your finds. Use a magnifying glass and field booklet to learn more about each discovery and the prehistoric world of the T-Rex. Once complete, showcase your work in a customizable virtual museum featuring multiple rooms, including a grand exhibit hall with a towering T-Rex skeleton. Navigate through intuitive in-world controls and choose between English and German language options. Created by a student team over 3.5 months as part of their VR/AR studies, *VRex* offers an immersive, educational journey through paleontology—from first dig to final display.
